This is the main reason why I haven’t updated yet. I hate the way the control centre looks like and wonder if there’s a way to revert it back after updating 🫤
As a lifetime Apple fan who have owned pretty much everything they have ever released from day one, I must say Apple is losing the creativity touch. All they add nowadays are basic stuff that are either available on other phones or apps. I was very hopeful of the “game changing” iPhone 16 Pro Max but have had it now for over three weeks and must say it is just a little upgrade. Disappointing
Apple are drip feeding features making people buy newer phones again and again . No innovation just money making gimmicks. My next phone will be android.
I have had the exact same phone as you for the exact same time and feel quite differently. I came to the iPhone 16 PM, but came to it from a 12 PM. The 16 is WAY better for me. Your mileage does vary...
@@trebor1745I had jumped from 13 Pro Max. I just hope Apple goes back to the days when we were all wooed. They are better off skipping a year and make something better instead of just recycling ideas or copy some things that are already ancient
4:24 Thanks, Dan, for showing how to disable the categories in the 18.2 Mail app. 👏 I was about to kill the download of 18.2 since I’ve absolutely _loathed_ categorizing emails since Microsoft introduced the Focused Inbox “feature”.
There is a problem in hearing aid you toggle the switch on then off it still continuously keeps trying to search non stop. I just wanted to check it out but I don’t have and hearing aids so now I’m stuck with a continuous Bluetooth search when I have Bluetooth on . I should have never tried to check it out. Anybody know how to fix this?????
Can one turn on/off the notifications for the mail app based on the categorization? as in to mute particular categories and to get notification only from certain categories
Maybe there is a way to do this and I haven't figured out how yet, but I would love if my phone would read my emails to me in their entirety...What am I missing?
The issue with 4:57 phone mirroring is that, it’s still not working on none silicon Apple devices but I’m not seeing this have any major attention especially this is a major update for Apple. iPhone 14 Pro with 2019 non-silicon Mac’s not connection.
iPhone 16 pro max owner in Europe, it’s a sad state of affairs when I can get Google Gemini full functionality on my phone and can’t get Apple AI on an Apple phone 🤬🤬
@ no this is new with his new 18.2 upgrade and mine won’t even connect at all to my CarPlay. It’s not even showing that I have a iPhone. It’s really pissing me off today. I’m gonna have to break down and call APPLE which I dreaded because you’re on the phone forever.
Help! IPhone 16 user here. The “require screen on” option for the camera is all very well for controlling accidentally hitting the camera button (though the chances of that is slim given it’s indented and I have set it up as a double click, and I have removed the camera from the Lock Screen)…. But the biggest issue is the swipe function on the Lock Screen. The “require screen on” button does not stop this swipe functionality. I am regularly getting videos or photos from pocket swipes. Or have I missed something here? Beggars belief Apple has not fixed this. There is plenty of on online angst regarding this issue. Has anyone found a work-around? (Other than disabling the camera in settings). Again Help please.
For me it's quite lifechanging. My 15 Plus was struggling to charge for months, ever since i updated to 17.4 or something. The charging would literally go on and off if i plug in and out the cable. This happens when rhe battery is below 40%. I would wait for the next ios update and no change on that one. Literally, today i was about to go out and buy new cable (bcs i could charge just fine with usb C cable from other brands) Long story short, i never gave any shit about software update anymore until i see significant changes on Ios 18.2 No more charging issues and on top of that, quite a lot of appearance changes. Gives me a fresh & unique experience🍻
Well, even though I have the cutting-edge iPhone 18 (you know, the one that doesn’t even exist yet), Apple Intelligence still doesn’t work in the EU. Thanks, EU regulations and the Digital Markets Act, for making us wait until 2025 for features like Siri to actually function properly. It’s awesome being stuck in the future with zero access to basic AI features. Way to go, Apple - this is exactly the kind of innovation we’ve been waiting for!
I see a problem here .. not just with iphone updates .. but generally.. can you imagine how uninspiring these updates are? we are at a point where there not much updates and innovations to add again and we are back to talking about volume control, camera control.. etc..
Honestly I didn’t expect this update now, especially since Apple just released the RC version. Thanks for making a video about it because I’ve been waiting a long time for this update 😇
Finally installed iOS 12.8, was so excited to get all those awesome new features… but, of course, not in the EU! As always, we get left behind. When Apple decides to add something new, it’s never for us. Same old story. 😞 #EUalwayslast” This keeps the tone light but clearly expresses frustration.
Image playground don’t even work for me…..It’s a black screen when I open it or it says downloading so I can use it…..It’s already downloaded😂Also it continuously closes every time I open it……This is a sad and pathetic situation from Apple. This is what happens when you try to launch things that you have no idea how to implement yet😑I have an IPhone 16 pro max
@ you literally commented to say that? 😆 Obviously the dude has had it for a while and no one was asking you in particular anyway. Just keep it moving bro
I’ve disabled Siri and all the ai features I could find. All this would be useful if I was still working maybe. The constant taking of information is what allows ai to work. It’s not for me. I do everything I reasonably can to stop my personal info being given to all. I did download 18.2 for the security patches. Over time I’m sure 18.2 will have some great new features that are not ai related.
Image playground is a joke. All images have a similar look. Basic requests do not generate a nearly accurate image. Images from photos look nothing like the person. Pointless.
Why can't Apple improve the iPhone's listening capabilities and intelligence so that voice to text is actually accurate most of the time like ChatGPT. It is comical how badly Apple handles homophones, for example, not considering the correct context of the word within the sentence.
What's new in iOS 18.2 tl/dr: They moved some things around, Siri gained Chat GPT support to give you more eloquent answers to questions you never asked, and more childish cartoon features. Highly recommended for those 5 and under. There, I saved you 6 minutes.
Mail upgrade? How can they still have such a terrible user experience with Mail in dark mode? I don't know about you, but I CANNOT see the Archive, Move (and other) buttons at the bottom of any email message that shows a light text background, while the rest of the app is in dark mode. C''mon, man!
literally the only thing we EU users got was the gallery update, the mail update isn't even in it for us (15 pro max). Apple is screwing us over big-time
Don´t need 6min around here..:) Can make it in less than 5sek. Not a Single "new" thing more than a bug fix like 18.1 was. :) If you don´t count settings or color that is useless stuff anyway. :))
Brother i m living in united states i have 16 pro and i updated my phone to 18.2 but there is no option for playground , visual intelligence and there is old siri animation
I am sorry - but not only would I NEVER use any of these 'new' functions, the one like 'tells you all about the restaurant when you point the camera at it' is SO intrusive! I HATE that sort of thing. Yes, I have a phone that will take this 'update' but quite frankly that is just all programme wastage on my memory card - so I haven't bothered to update to it AT ALL. Nor can I see myself doing anytime soon. I would rather leave my phone open to a security risk than have to deal with all this useless trash my phone is trying to do to me. Ps I hate widgets too, for the same reason - never use them, dont need them! Please please please Apple - can you just do a security update on phones without all this useless and annoying add-on stuff?
I really appreciate the what’s new video not being 30-40 minutes long 😅
Hahaah Trueeee!
facts
Me too. I don’t have the time for that anyways 😂
frrrr
You should fix your attention span instead
not sure why i just updated my iphone 13, it seems none of these features are available for it 👀
the mail feature and volume slider thing are available on iphone 13
most of these wont be available on iphone 14 and lower
The only useful one is the volume slider. But in typical Apple fashion it’s not enabled by default.
Great video. Quick, concise, much appreciated!
If not broken don’t fix things… the control centre is messed up
This is the main reason why I haven’t updated yet. I hate the way the control centre looks like and wonder if there’s a way to revert it back after updating 🫤
It’s easy to fix. Press the + on the top left corner and scroll down to delete all the new icons which deletes the new pages
@ worked that out 10 mins after the comment mate 😂, you had any performance issues with the new update

What do you want the phone to do.? It’s just a phone.
How do I opt out of people using my face for their Ai slop pictures?
I don’t think you can
4:24 Thanks, Dan, for showing how to disable the categories in the 18.2 Mail app. 👏 I was about to kill the download of 18.2 since I’ve absolutely _loathed_ categorizing emails since Microsoft introduced the Focused Inbox “feature”.
Can I -lease get the ability to use my phone in landscape again?
These "updates" to me are not updates but confusion factors! I hate them and wish I could go back to my previous version.
Is any of this useful to those of us who don't have a iPhone 15 or 16 ?
Nope, he said that in the first 20 seconds
There are a couple of things at the end of video. Should be timestamps!
16 yes but for 15 nope
I’m thinking that you should rephrase your question to “is any of this useful?”
If you have an m series iPad or iPad mini 7 than you can use these as well
It’s not available in apple 14?
Love the hoodie.😀
You didn’t mention that there’s a waitlist for all the creation tools
You should take the time to explain how to activate these functions and where to find them...
so basically nothing really new
Is there a way to generate text over your images in image playground? Haven’t figured that one out yet.

Iphone 16 pro max, restarted phone etc and still no genmoji in messages..any help? In the US btw.
I had the same problem. Go into your settings and then “apple intelligence & Siri” and you have to set it up there.
@ I don’t see where to set it up in “apple intelligence & Siri” nothing for genmoji
Excellent video right to the point
I use my iPhone for music production apple has that on lock
the default wallpaper from iphone 15promax is gone?
Turning on automatic updates advisable?
You explain the new features but you don’t explain how to enable them
Is there any way we can change airdrop sound in 18.2???
Super excited for this update.
Maybe there is a way to do this and I haven't figured out how yet, but I would love if my phone would read my emails to me in their entirety...What am I missing?
How the hell did you get the “find my “ link to show the item you lost? 😮

There are some of us who can’t afford a new iPhone. Wish they would expend more time reducing hardware cost vs developing unusable apps.
This channel is based in Cleveland?
Technically yes? Haha
I find it weird and annoying that the new mail categorization feature isn't in the newest version of iPadOS
iPhone 16 pro max owner in Europe, it’s a sad state of affairs when I can get Google Gemini full functionality on my phone and can’t get Apple AI on an Apple phone 🤬🤬
Very underwhelming update. All marketing
Why will my CarPlay or apply play not hook up to my car now??? Was working before this update!
Yay bugs
Typical. CarPlay has been buggy as hell for a long time. Even if it does connect there’s a good chance it shuts off randomly.

You didn’t mention about RCS . This is also updated
Apple needs to fix photos on its next update
So the Siri Command prompt used to light up all sides now it just goes back to a small Siri ball ?
Older models don’t have the email redesign? I have the older one on 18.2
me too
It’s only if your phone is set to english

We got it in the UK
Nice video, got any news on availability of these features in EU?
April 2025 (that's what is officially known)
It’s eating up my battery
Sure it is.
Bravo apple youre the best😊
Here in Europe we do not get these new Apple apps,…😟
How is it on the battery?
my battery has been ruined by 18.2! charging is sooo slow
It’s fine!
It literally just came out. Give it a few days before asking.
